What are the different kinds of traditional dot-voting?

There are many variations on the traditional dot-voting approach (AKA sticky-dot voting, multi-voting, etc.  See FAQ above). Some key points of variation include:

• The process of generating ideas, e.g. an open brainstorm VS a short list of options presented by an executive body.
• What kind of stickers to use, or alternatives to stickers such as writing check marks with markers.
• How many stickers each participant is given to use.
• How many stickers a participant can apply per an idea.
• Colours of stickers and what they signify, e.g. green for strong support, blue for basic support, and red for objection; or different colours per a stakeholder type.

Each variation on the method can have considerable positive and negative effects on the results of the process.

This website is dedicated to a specific model called Advanced Dotmocracy that does not use stickers and instead uses special Dotmocracy sheets and follows strict rules and requirements.
